It was 'Rock Star' day at baby school today, and Zoe got in the spirit with a new knitted belt.*
 
Zoe's best power ballad wail...                           ...and a better view of the belt.

*OK, I admit it - that belt started its life as a headband before it got too big.

 Excuse me, a girl needs her privacy...

Is Zoe doing The Carlton?

Zoe loves raspberries (not that kind)


Right at the end, she said and signed "all done", but the camera cut it off.  :(

Zoe tried out her new swimming pool today, and had a lot of fun.  She kept wanting to go down the slide again and and again... and again...

We had fun at the Urbana Sweetcorn Festival today, and Zoe tried her first corn on the cob - and she loved it!

It's all fun and games until somebody pulls down the sheers... right after the last photo.

On Sunday we went to a pool party at Sholem Pool in Champaign.  They had a couple of nice areas for kids - one for the toddlers ('The Puddle'), and one for the bigger kids ('The Beach').  We spent most of the time in the toddler area, and Zoe had a lot of fun!

On Saturday, we went to a family reunion and Zoe got to go on her first hayride - she was a little perplexed at first, but enjoyed it.
